Ashley H - Tutor in Firgrove

As an individual we are all unique. My uniqueness lies in my abilities and talents I have obtained and developed over the past years. I believe in excellence because I strive at not being the best there is but being one of the best at the job that needs to be completed. No job undertaken is necessarily easy thus challenges do arise and that is what I should like to undertake. I have gained extensive practical as well as intellectual experience in the food industry with close to 7 years’ experience in the Food Safety and Quality Assurance sector. My key skills developed are planning, formulation, organization and control of all Food Safety matters in the factory. I had the chief responsibility of maintaining the optimum level of Food Safety and efficiency according to Food Safety legislative principles, namely, FSSC 22000, GFSI, SANS 10049:2012, SANS 10330:2007 as well as integrating management systems ISO9001, ISO 45001, ISO31000, ISO 55001, and ISO 14001. I’ve developed basic microbiological techniques in the laboratory with more than 1 years’ experience and gained more than 4 years’ experience in product development. My Master’s degree has also given me insight and provided me with the potential to nurture my passion for research and development. Doing this study was a true asset to developing my research capabilities. My majors are Food Science and Biochemistry. Hard work and dedication has ensured my commitment to research and development in the food manufacturing industry. I possess strong moral principles. I am honest, helpful, polite, show initiative; I’m enthusiastic, tactful and have integrity. One of my mottos in life is, “Self-trust is the first key to success,” and with having trust in myself and maintaining positivity, assists me in making the correct decisions and proves to be a worthy method to make a success of my and others life.
